Becoming a Spinning® instructor changed my life in so many positive ways! It led me to become an avid outdoor cyclist, which in turn has prompted me to ride in the MS 150. This has been such an incredible opportunity for me for many reasons.
As an instructor, I have been blessed to meet such wonderful people that have come through my classes.

Spinning® Instructor Certification
Who is it for?
Spinning® Instructor Certification is the original certification course. It prepares you to lead classes with all the essential knowledge, such as bike setup and safety, form and technique, intensity zones and interval training, cueing for performance, motivation, and creating classes and playlists.
This is ideal for you if:
- You love taking classes, and you want to learn how to get better on the bike and maybe even teach someday.
- You’re just starting out and have never taught Spinning® or any other indoor cycling classes before.
- You taught indoor cycling before, but want to earn the official Spinning® certification.
How It Works
We have live (in-person or virtual) and on demand (online) formats.
Live (in-person or virtual)
Live training (in-person) is led by a Master Instructor in a group setting at a Spinning® facility. These are scheduled worldwide throughout the year. You don’t need to be affiliated with a Spinning® facility to attend. Simply register for the live training course that works with your schedule.
Live virtual training is also led by a Master Instructor, but the course is conducted virtually via Zoom. There is no in-person gathering. You can attend from your home or anywhere you can access Zoom.
One price. No extra fees.
On Demand (online)
On demand (online) training can be completed at your own pace from any internet-connected computer or device.
All topics covered are the same. The only difference is, you learn from video lessons rather than real-time presentations.
One price. No extra fees.

Read What Some of our Spinning® Instructor Certification Graduates Have to say
I feel the course was very well set up. I originally had reservations about the course being delivered online and through Zoom as I have always thought of live teaching as superior. However, I was pleasantly surprised.
The online material was easy to access, extensive and clearly laid out making the learning experience both easy and convenient.
Neil Talbot
This course was amazing. I cannot believe just how much detail and technical information and background actually goes into a Spinning® class.
The content was fantastic. The main reason I took the online course was to learn more about Spinning® and to eventually become a fantastic instructor.
Joseph Grant
GREAT instructor!!! I thoroughly enjoyed Melanie Guadalupe … She taught a very detailed class and the two Spinning® classes were superb.
My passion is Spinning® and this class fulfilled all of my expectations!!! Thank you!!!
